I was trying to use Zend_Currency to format my currency outputs and i face this queer problem. An illegal character(Â) gets displayed along with the output of the currency data. The code i used is:
$currency = new Zend_Currency('en_IN');
echo $currency->toCurrency(100);
And the output is:
Rs 100.00
I dont know from where the "Â" comes up. I found out that this problem occurs for certain locales only. It is working fine for en_US and some others but output this extra char  in many other. Some one please help.
Put this in your layout header, this is an regular encoding issue.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
To expand on Elzo's answer, I have this in my Bootstrap.php:
$this->bootstrap('view');
$view = $this->getResource('view');
$view->headMeta()->setHttpEquiv('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset=utf-8');
This is in my layout:
<head>
<?php echo $this->headMeta(); ?>
<?php echo $this->headTitle(); ?>
<?php echo $this->headLink(); ?>
<?php echo $this->headScript(); ?>
</head>

What is the problem ?
Euro symbol does not appear.
This may be the reason
Currency have two symbols symbol right and symbol left. To make support for both types of currency you need to include both symbols.
You forgot to include following code.
<?php echo $currency['symbol_right'] ?>
Your full code looks:
<?php echo $currency['symbol_left']; ?> <?php echo $currency['title']; ?> <?php echo $currency['symbol_left']; ?>
I am creating a form using Cake PHP. Is there any way to retrieve the basic HTML of the created form. For example,if we use Form Helper, we can create form using PHP itself. But now, I need only the html part of the created form for other use. Is it possible to retrieve it??
For example, say if I give input form like,
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('User');
echo $this->Form->input('email');
echo $this->Form->end('Save');
?>
I need output like this
<form action="index.html">
<input type="email" />
<input type="submit" value="Save" />
</form>
I can even create seperate function for attaining this objective. But I would like to know, if there is any other method for achieving this output
you can store FormHelper output in a string variable
<?php
$html_string = '';
$html_string .= $this->Form->create('User');
$html_string .= $this->Form->input('email');
$html_string .= $this->Form->end('Save');
?>
and then use your string elsewhere. But I'm not sure this is what you're searching for.
If I understand the question correctly, you want to use the form you created on another part of your site?
If that is the case, I would put the form itself in an Element and then call the Element wherever I wanted the form.
View/Elements/form.ctp
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('User');
echo $this->Form->input('email');
echo $this->Form->end('Save');
?>
Then in any view on your site you can call the Element using:
<?php echo $this->element('form');?>
I have asked a similar question in the past but still have issues...
I am therefore placing the whole function here.
Can anyone tell me how to change the format that the date is output?
Currently it shows 20130731
I want it to show 31st July 2013
function le_detail() {
?>
<div class="event">
<!--Standard WP - use 'echo' -->
<h2 class="button"> <?php echo get_the_title(); ?> </h2>
<!-- ACF - NO 'echo' -->
<h3><?php the_field('where'); ?></h3>
<h3><?php the_field('when'); ?></h3>
<p><?php the_field('description'); ?></p>
<p>Chairman: <?php the_field('chairman'); ?></p>
</div>
<?php
}
The date is the line: (this is using the Advanced Customs Fields plugin)
<h3><?php the_field('when'); ?></h3>
Yes, I had this same problem until I tried it this way:
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field('my_datefield'));
//use your field name
then...
<li>Ticket Date: <?php echo $date->format('d M, Y'); ?> </li>
Good Luck!
ACF plugin is having get_field('') function to get the value of the custom field. Since you have used 'when' as the field name, so do as follows:
<h3><?php echo date("dS F,Y",strtotime(get_field('when'))); ?></h3>
Use the above code snippet, that will solve your problem.
and thanks in advance for your help. I'm using Simplepie to try to bring this feed:
http://www.p2rx.org/webservices/rssNews.cfm?Type=Tribal&getall=true
into this page:
http://www.tribalp2.org/events/news.php
As you can see, it isn't working. Although many other feed urls I've entered into:
$feed->set_feed_url('http://www.p2rx.org/webservices/rssNews.cfm');
work just fine. I've added
$feed->force_feed(true);
as well. What might the problem be? The full code is:
<?php
require_once('../php/autoloader.php');
$feed = new SimplePie();
$feed->set_feed_url('http://www.p2rx.org/webservices/rssNews.cfm?Type=Tribal&getall=true');
$feed->force_feed(true);
$feed->init();
$feed->handle_content_type();
?>
<?php foreach ($feed->get_items(0,30) as $item): ?>
<div class="item">
<h4><?php echo $item->get_title(); ?> - <?php echo $item->get_date('F j, Y'); ?></h4>
<p><?php echo $item->get_description(); ?></p>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php unset($feed); ?>
Thanks.
SimplePie can not display all feeds. There are crap feeds that do not follow the standards and even if you try to force it, SimplePie can not decipher them. However checking http://validator.w3.org/feed/ your feed validates.
Try not forcing feed, also try calling force feed after init. If the feed validates SimplePie should handle it.
Has anyone run into this problem...
In my layout.phtml I have:
<head>
<?= $this->headTitle('Control Application - ') ?>
</head>
then in index.phtml I have:
<? $this->headTitle()->append('Client List'); ?>
I expect that, when I go to my index action, the title should be 'Control Application - Client List' but instead I have 'Client ListControl Application - '
What is going on? How can I fix this?
Default behaviour of the headTitle() is to append to the stack. Before calling headTitle() in layout.phtml, your stack is:
Clientlist
Then, you call headTitle with the first argument and no second argument (which makes it default to APPEND), resulting in the following stack:
ClientListControl Application -
The solution, in layout.phtml:
<?php
$this->headTitle()->prepend('Control Application -');
echo $this->headTitle();
?>
Additionally, you can use the setPrefix method in your layout as such:
<head>
<?= $this->headTitle()->setPrefix('Control Application') ?>
</head>
And in your controllers/actions/etc use the standard append/prepend:
<?php
$this->headTitle()->setSeparator(' - ');
$this->headTitle()->append('Client List');
?>
I don't actually use headTitle, but do use ZF, and I had a quick look on the mailing list, this might solve the problem:
<head>
<?= $this->headTitle('Control Application') ?>
</head>
Then:
<?php
$this->headTitle()->setSeparator(' - ');
$this->headTitle()->prepend('Client List');
?>
This happens because the layout is the last script to be executed. So you actually do the append BEFORE the set of the title, so that there's nothing to append to yet.
Set the main title (Control Application) in a Controller. For example I always do it in the predispatch action of a initPlugin so that it is execute before any other Controller Action, and I can append or prepend at will.
To use such a plugin just define a new Class extending Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract and define a function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request) where you can put all your common-to-the-whole-site code, and to register the plugin just put it into the controllerFront of your bootstrap: $controller->registerPlugin(new InitPlugin());
